Four reasons to choose SBS Bank for your next home loan.

We have a simple purpose: helping Kiwis find a place to call home. We’ve been doing it for over 155 years, and we’d love to help you too.

    We’re a mutual bank, so our customers own us – and we’ve worked hard for them since 1869. Read more.

    Our customers are our owners, and we know they want us to keep rates low. Check our rates.
  • Canstar Award winning
    We’re the Canstar Bank of the Year for First Home Buyers in 2022, 2023 and 2024. See why.

Run the numbers with these easy calculators.

Rates are one thing, but what do they mean for your finances? Use our calculators to work out what home ownership will mean for your finances.

Numbers not your thing? No problem, we love them. Let’s put our heads together and work out where you stand.

Let's figure it out together

  • How much home loan could I get for my current rent?
    Paying off your own home is a much more satisfying way to spend that rent money. Be my own landlord.
  • How much can I borrow?
    The question everyone wants to know: how much house can I afford? Show me the money.
  • How much are the repayments?
    Every payment will be chipping away at that loan. So how much will they be?  It’s so worth it.
  • How long will it take me to repay my loan?
    You can give yourself 30 years to pay off one of our home loans. Could you do it faster? I’ll bet I could.

First home in your future?

  • Lock in a rate for simpler budgeting.
    Fixed rate loan is a set rate for a set period, to keep your repayments the same. I like a sure thing.
  • Float your rate and keep your loan flexible.
    With a simple floating rate loan, your repayments change when rates change. That floats my boat.
  • Mix and match to suit your needs.
    Split your home loan between fixed and floating rates to get the best of both. I’ll divide and conquer.
  • Use your home loan like an overdraft.
    Flexi Home Loan lets you use your home loan to fund home improvement or other spending, up to your agreed limit. I’m putting it on the house.
  • Borrow to build your perfect home.
    Our special construction loans let you draw on the funds as your build progresses. Ooh - I want to talk to somebody.
